Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) delivered a dominant batting performance in their IPL 2025 match against Rajasthan Royals (RR), setting a massive total of 286/6 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. The highlight of the innings was Ishan Kishan’s unbeaten century, which helped propel SRH to an almost unassailable position. However, the game also witnessed a shocking moment when Jofra Archer bowled a high full toss beamer that stunned everyone on the field.
During the 18th over, RR’s pace sensation Jofra Archer lost control of a delivery, resulting in a high full toss that flew over Ishan Kishan’s head. The delivery was so high that it not only evaded Kishan but also went past RR wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel, racing to the boundary for four bonus runs.
The umpire immediately signaled a no-ball, ruling that the delivery was dangerously above waist height. The incident added drama to an already high-octane game, leaving both teams and fans in disbelief. Fortunately, Ishan Kishan managed to duck in time, avoiding a potentially serious injury.
SRH’s innings began explosively, with openers Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head dominating the powerplay. However, it was Ishan Kishan’s unbeaten knock of 106 off just 47 balls that stole the show. His blistering innings included 11 boundaries and 6 towering sixes, dismantling the RR bowling attack.
Other notable contributions came from Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, who set the foundation for the high total. Despite RR’s bowlers struggling to contain the onslaught, SRH continued their aggressive batting approach, ensuring they finished with a record-breaking 286/6 in 20 overs.
Rajasthan Royals now have an enormous challenge ahead, with a record chase of 287 runs required to win. The RR batting unit, led by Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag, will have to be at their absolute best to counter the strong SRH bowling attack.
With the highest total of IPL 2025 so far, SRH has set a tough benchmark for the rest of the tournament. The next phase of the match will determine whether RR can pull off a historic chase or if SRH secures a dominant victory.
